INTRODUCTION:

The cell (from Latin cella, meaning "small room") is the basic structural, functional, and biological unit of all
known organisms. A cell is the smallest unit of life. Cells are often called the "building blocks of life".

Cell theory is the historic scientific theory, now universally accepted, that living organisms are made up of cells,
that they are the basic structural/organizational unit of all organisms, and that all cells come from pre-existing
cells.

 PARTS AND FUNCTIONS OF A CELL

A B
Nucleus Regulates all cell activities
Cell Membrane Is made out of phospholipids and proteins
Mitochondrion Site of cellular respiration "power house"
Lysosome Suicide Sacks that contain digestive enzymes
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum Contains Ribosomes, transports proteins and
other materials
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum Contains no ribosomes, stores proteins
Golgi complex (apparatus) Processes and packages proteins
Nucleolus Dark spot of chromatin in the nucleolus
where ribosomes are produced
Cytoplasm Colloid that contains water and nutrients
and supports the organelles
Organelles The parts of a cell with a particular function
Prokaryotic Cells with no true nucleus and no membrane
bound organelles
Eukaryotic Cells that contain a true nucleus and
membrane bound organelles
Centrioles Only in animal cells, aid in cell division
Ribosomes Produce Proteins
Chloroplast Found only in plants, site of photosynthesis
Vacuoles Large storage sacks found mainly in plants
Cell Wall Structure in plants made of cellulose that is
outside of the cell membrane
Chromatin Thin strands of DNA and proteins found in
the nucleus of a cell.
Cell Smallest unit of life
Cytoskeleton Long protein filaments in the cytosol that
support the cell.

EARTH AND LIFE SCIENCE

WEEK 11
PERFORMANCE TASK 1

Page 2 of 3
SPECIFIC DIRECTION: Make an edible cell of either plant or animal cell.

GOALS: Students will create a model of either plant or animal cell using various food items to represent each
part or organelle. Students will take a photo or documentation after they create an edible cell model.

SAMPLE ACTIVITY:

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA:
Compliance with the theme 30 %
Interesting, useful and informative 25 %
Originality works 25 %
The basic idea, concept, creative innovation work 20 %
Total: 100 %

Deadline of Submission: TBA

Congratulations for finishing the Module 12! You’re doing better than you think. I’m proud of you, keep going, you’ve
got this.
